Overview
The Kore 93 gives you the enthusiasm and confidence to push your limits and explore the whole mountain. On piste its light thanks to innovative design including Topless Tech laminate, Graphene and Koroyd, but without ever losing the surefootedness that other light skis might lack. The 93mm waist delivers precise handling on groomers and impressive floatation when you get the chance to venture into deep snow.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This is a proper all mountain ski, truly capable anywhere and in any condition. It can push out high energy turns on groomed runs as well as it flows, calmly through fresh snow and, thanks to the stability and balanced handling, it is perfectly suited to varied conditions and rougher snow. Light construction doesnt mean lack of performance and it is this mixed with the versatile shape that makes it so well suited to all mountain skiing.Skier TypeAdvanced skiers will get the most from this ski but, because of its light weight, it does have strong appeal for less heavy expert skiers too. even confident intermediates will get something out of the Kore 93 thanks to the fact it is so balanced and stable, as well as calm in and out of the turn. Light can equal wishy-washy but definitely not in this case where once you are skiing youd never notice any loss of performance. If anything, it feels more lively than you would expect.OverviewShape93mm in the waist is the ideal size for an all mountain ski that is focused towards getting away from the pistes. It isnt so wide that it is hard to handle or has a big effect on edge to edge response, but it does have enough width to float in deeper snow and to feel stable in tricky conditions. The contact points at the tip and tail arent right into the extremeties, which creates smooth turn initiation and completion, as opposed to instant bite and or hold at the end of a turn. This is perfect for skiing away from groomed snow as it makes the ski more predictable and stable.RockerTip and Tail Rocker is the best combination for skis that are set up primarily for soft snow. The tip rocker helps with turn initiation and floats in softer or mixed conditions. The camber ensures there is good grip and energy, and the tail rocker aids turn release. The result is the best handling for skiing away from groomed snow.CoreThe Karuba Light Weight core really is a clever piece of engineering. The Karuba wood has the perfect ratio of density and weight, giving the ski its pop and personality. Integrated with this are Koroyd and Graphene (explained in detail below). The combination of these 3 materials ensure the ski is light and balanced.ConstructionOkay, take a breath, the Graphene Koroyd Carbon Superlite Sandwich Cap Construction takes some beating as a name. It basically means the ski is light, durable and balanced, as well as lively. This Graphene Koroyd Carbon triumvirate keep the weight right down without damaging performance. The sidewalls ensure precise energy transfer and the cap adds durability. Finally, the Topless Tech of polyester fleece is used instead of a heavy traditional plastic topsheet.Key FeaturesKoroydKoroyd is a honeycomb shaped material at the heart of the Kore. Its super light and incredibly elastic, as well as very strong. It is crucial in making the ski feel so light but still so lively.Graphene - KoreGraphene is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind. It is also the strongest material on the planet, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all in the thickness of one atom. By using it in the tip and tail, Head can reduce weight and increase the responsiveness in deep snow.eB testers comments: Tristan (Mail Order) I love how light and nimble they were and how they glided over choppy terrain. It's a great freeride ski that is versatile and adapts to most conditions well. It's a new personal favourite.Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)171180189General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced/expertTerrain Type: Freeride Rocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: n/aDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Graphene, KoroydDemo: YesSizing Description: Forehead to over head height.
